“It’s been seven years in the making but we’ve now achieved something quite revolutionary in motor design – one of the world’s smallest fully-integrated 1600W motors.

It was just the starting point for our latest hand drying technology.”

Dyson hand dryers are the fastestTesting based on NSF Protocol P335proves that Dyson Airblade™ hand dryers are the fastest. Every second, up to 35 litres of air is forced through apertures up to 0.8 mm wide. The result – 430 mph sheets of air that scrape water from hands, drying them quickly and hygienically.

Other hand dryers are too slowTesting based on NSF Protocol P335 shows that most other hand dryers are much slower than their manufacturers claim. Many people give up when using a slow hand dryer. But damp hands can spread up to 1,000 times more bacteria than dry hands.

The most hygienic hand dryersDyson Airblade™ hand dryers use HEPA filters. 99.9% of bacteria in the washroom air are captured. So hands are dried using cleaner air, not dirty air.

Other hand dryers are unhygienicThey don’t filter bacteria from the washroom air. They suck in dirty air then blow it back onto hands.

BlockagesPaper towels can clog waste water systems.

Overflowing binsSoiled towels can end up on the floor of busy washrooms.

Empty dispensersDispensers are often left empty leaving no way to dry hands.

WastefulUsed paper towels are rarely recycled, so they end up in landfill or are incinerated.

Create messPaper towels are often discarded without care. This can create a negative impression of washroom cleanliness.

Paper towels cause other problems

50% quieterAirblade™ technology combined with the Dyson digital motor V4 creates high speed sheets of air. The Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is the fastest way to dry hands and is 50% quieter than the original Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer. It is suitable for all washrooms, particularly where sound levels are an important consideration.

How it works 1 Dirty washroom air is

sucked in by the Dyson digital motor V4.

2 It passes through a HEPA filter, removing 99.9% of the bacteria.

3 The filtered air passes over the electronics, cooling them.

4 The air then reaches the motor, which channels it up and through the machine.

5 Air passes into the air ducts which are insulated to reduce noise.

6 It’s then forced through two apertures – creating sheets of air travelling at 430 mph.

7 The two sheets of air literally scrape water from hands.

Quieter and slowerSome manufacturers make their machines quieter by reducing the power, so they can take even longer to dry hands.

Quieter and just as fastThe Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is 50% quieter than the original Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer, but still dries hands in just 10 seconds.

Reduced motor noiseDyson acoustic engineers have made improvements to the level and quality of the sound generated by the Dyson digital motor V4.

The first and fourth harmonics of the motor tone, which are those most prominent to the human ear, have been isolated and substantially reduced. The high-pitch noise produced by the impeller has also been minimised.

Acoustically re-engineered to reduce noiseDyson engineers focussed on reducing sound from two key sources:

Reduced air rush noiseWith a sound power level of 82 dB(A), the Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is 50% quieter than the original Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer.

Airblade™ technology results in air travelling at 430 mph through apertures measuring just 0.4 mm in width. Some noise is inevitable.

Dyson engineers have reduced the noise produced by the sheets of air by redesigning the shape of the apertures through which air is forced.

The casing above the front aperture is offset by 0.3 mm to redirect the airflow.

Air travels further before it collides, so the air velocity when it does collide is less, and the sound produced by the jets of air is reduced.

Redesigned scallop-shaped apertures.

The most hygienic hand dryerThe Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer dries hands in just 10 seconds. It’s the fastest hand dryer. It also has touch-free operation, uses a HEPA filter and contains a lifetime antibacterial additive, which can help prevent the growth of bacteria.

Approved for use in food environments by HACCP

Test. Test. Test.The Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is engineered to last. It has been repeatedly tested for durability and resilience to physical and chemical abuse. It has also been exposed to real-life environments to ensure that it can withstand the pressures of high usage.

With strong construction and robust materials, the Dyson Airblade dB hand dryer is suitable for high footfall, high usage locations where vandalism can be an issue.

And because it uses 430 mph sheets of filtered air to dry hands, there is no heating element prone to wear and failure.

The Dyson digital motor V4The impeller spins 90,000 times a minute – generating enough power to draw in up to 35 litres of air per second. With fully-integrated mechanical, electrical and aerodynamic systems, it’s a high efficiency, power-dense package with a diameter of just 85 mm.

Concentrated, not compromisedDyson engineers have developed one of the world’s smallest 1600W motors, enabling them to build a hand dryer that protrudes just four inches from the wall. It dries hands hygienically, in 10 seconds.

On the wallThe Dyson Airblade V hand dryer is just four inches deep, so it can be installed without recessing and the associated costs.

In the wallBecause of bulky motors, other hand dryers may protrude too far from the wall. They may have to be recessed into the wall. This can be costly.

Wash and dry hands at the sink With Airblade™ technology in a tap, hands can be dried at the sink in 12 seconds. There’s no need to move to a separate drying area.

How it worksBoth water and air are sensor operated so there are no taps to turn, or buttons to touch. Intelligent infrared sensors emit light to pinpoint hand positions. Computer circuitry coordinates the information and initiates the appropriate response of water or air without long delays. It’s been tested for 365,000 cycles, and is mains powered, so there are no batteries to run out.

Water in the sinkWith the Dyson Airblade Taphand dryer water isn’t dripped on the floor because you don’t need to leave the sink with wet hands.

Water on the floorMoving to a separate hand drying area with wet hands means water is often dripped on the floor. This can create problems in the washroom.

Mains water inletElectronic, sensor-controlled water valve activates when a hand is detected. This starts the water flow.

Spring-mounted motorMotor is mounted using springs to reduce sound and vibration.
